Would you then suggest a bigger pump like a 8000 or 10000 or would you suggest a different make ? Not many pumps you can actually put in the pond and as ive used Oase before I thought stick with what you know.

Thanks B.Scott

The TT will be fed from an Oase Aquamax (6000) which at this point in time will be hanging over the pond wall, this will then pump from the pond direct to the TT via 40mm flexi pipe, once it gets to the top I will use a few connectors so that its 40mm flexi to a 4" off cut pipe which i will the...

There are indeed Ted, I was trying to get around the issue of not having any waste at the bottom and these looked the part.
